SUMMARY AS PASSED:
Replacement absentee ballots for certain disabled or ill voters. Provides that a voter who has applied for an absentee ballot because of physical disability or illness, and who has been mailed an absentee ballot, but has not received or has lost the ballot, may obtain a replacement ballot by designating a representative to pick up and return the ballot for him and by completing required forms to obtain the replacement. The representative must be 18 or older and cannot be an elected official, candidate, or close affiliate of an official or candidate. Section 24.2-708 now allows voters who can appear in person to obtain and vote using a replacement absentee ballot. This bill is identical to SB 94.
